1. Top Ten

  • Write a function that queries the Reddit API and prints the titles of the first 10 hot posts listed for a given subreddit.

2. Recurse it!

  • Write a recursive function that queries the Reddit API and returns a list containing the titles of all hot articles for a given subreddit. If no results are found for the given subreddit, the function should return None.
